Hosmer, Harriet G. 1830-

Sculptor; born in Watertown, Mass., Oct. 9, 1830; began modelling in clay at an early age; and, having finished her education in school, she took a course of anatomical instruction in a medical college at St. Louis, Mo. She made a bust of Hesper, in marble, in 1852, which attracted much attention, and her father (a physician) placed her under the tuition of Mr. Gibson, sculptor, at Rome. Her best-known work, Beatrice Cenci, was executed for the public library at St. Louis. She soon became a distinguished and popular artist. One of her, best productions, finished in 1859, is Zenobia in chains. She makes Rome her permanent abiding place.
